Dear agausling,
Evidence suggests that Nusapratamasupplier is a scam, for the following reasons:
- I checked the address they provide on their website:
Jl. Kebun Anggrek 39
North Sumatera
Medan, 21012
Indonesia
This address is a clumsy fake. There is no street named Kebun Anggrek
in Medan. And the postal code 21012 does not belong to Medan either. I
doubt that an actual company would provide a fake address on their
website. That alone already shows very clearly that this "company"
can't be trusted. However, there is more:
- On their website, they claim that their "company" was founded
already in March 2002. However, their Web domain was registerd only
quite recently, on 1 December 2005. No actual company would wait three
years before doing something as important as registering their domain.
- Furthermore, the domain will already expire after only one year, on
1 December 2006. This is typical for online frauds: The scammers
register short-lived, "disposable" domains which they simply abandon
once they are not of use any longer.
- Finally, it's very interesting to have a look at the "Whirlpool
Supplier Performance Award" they present so proudly on their website:
http://www.nusapratamasupplier.com/news.htm
Actually, the scammers simply stole that image from the website of the
American company LCR Electronics Inc. and manipulated it:
http://www.lcr-inc.com/news-articles.html
Besides, the fraudsters did not even realize that the award makes no
sense on the website of a (alleged) company that sells entertainment
electronics. The Whirlpool Corporation manufactures household
appliances, they don't need any suppliers of iPods and LCD TV sets.
The efforts of the "Nusapratamasupplier" fraudsters are bold and
ridiculous at the same time.
For these reasons, I must advise not to do any business with them.
Regards,
Scriptor
